[Verse 1]
       D                             Bm
Let me put my arms around your head,     its hot, lets go to bed,

A                                    A7
   Don't forget to turn on the light,    don't laugh, babe, it'll be alright,

D                                    Bm
   Pour me out another phone,  we'll ring and see if your friends are home,

A
   Perhaps the strange ones, in the dome,

    A7
Can lend us a book we could read up alone,

    G                               D     Dmaj7
And try to get it on like once be - fore,

     G                                   D        Dmaj7 
When people stared in Jaggers' eyes, and scored,

         Bm             E
Like the video films we saw
[Chorus]
    F        G      C                   C7/Bb      A7/C#   Dm    Dm/C
His name was always ....Buddy, and he'd shrug, and ask  to stay,

      G/B                C               F        C/E      G
She'd sigh like Twig the Wonder Kid, and turn her face a - way,

           F       G         C                  C7/Bb     A7/C#  Dm        Dm/C
She's un - certain ...if she likes him, but she knows she really loves him,

       G/B                  C               F   C/E  Dm  F/C    G/B     G/A
It's a crash course for the ravers, it's a drive---------in     Satur - day!

D                               Bm
Jung the foreman prays at work   ...neither hands, nor limbs, will burst,

      A                                     A7
It's ...it's hard enough to keep formation,     with this fall out saturation,

D                                  Bm
   Cursing at the Astronette, that stands in steel by his cabinet,

      A                                 A7
He's  ...crashing out with Sylvian, the bureau supply for ageing men,

     G                             D     Dmaj7
With snorting head he gazes to the shore,

      G                                  D     Dmaj7         Bm             E
Where once it raged, a sea that rages no more,      like the video films he saw
[Chorus]
    F        G      C                   C7/Bb      A7/C#   Dm    Dm/C
His name was always  ...Buddy, and he'd shrug, and ask  to stay,

      G/B                C               F        C/E      G
She'd sigh like Twig the Wonder Kid, and turn her face a - way,

           F       G         C                  C7/Bb     A7/C#  Dm         Dm/C
She's un - certain ...if she likes him, but she knows she really loves him,

       G/B                   C
It's a crash- course for the ravers,

       F   C/E  Dm  F/C    G/B     G/A    F   C/E  Dm  F/C  G/B     G/A   G
